I was just coming on a bit strong there; in my heart of hearts I think I just feel uneasy about the level to which we have taken this whole sports biz...
But I can completely immerse myself in a Joy of Mudville poem and appreciate the positives...oh yeah.

It's a conundrum for sure, but I guess I always come back because what happens "in between the lines" can be so incredible. Also, as Bob Costas so succinctly put it, it's "unscripted drama." At that bases loaded, 2-out moment with the game on the line in the bottom of the 9th...well, anything can happen and it's hard to beat genuine moments like that. (Unless it's the Dead pulling out "Box of Rain" at the end of the first set in Hampton in 1986 after a 14-year absence ;-)
